Description
This crispy harissa tofu is a flavorful and easy recipe that combines super firm tofu with a spicy harissa-honey sauce, perfect for serving over rice or salads.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces block super firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup harissa
- 3 tablespoons honey (sub agave syrup or maple syrup as needed)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coconut aminos (sub tamari or soy sauce as needed)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable broth
- sesame seeds and sliced green onions (for serving; optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Using clean hands, tear the tofu into 12-14 bite sized pieces.
- Add tofu pieces to a medium bowl. Toss with corn starch, oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Transfer to the baking sheet, careful not to overlap the tofu. Bake on the middle oven rack at 425F for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Meanwhile, make the harissa-honey sauce by whisking together harissa, honey, coconut aminos, and vegetable broth in a small bowl.
- Once the tofu is crisp and golden, remove it from the oven. Add to a bowl with just half of the harissa sauce, tossing to combine.
- Return to the oven and bake at 425F for 5 more minutes. This allows the tofu to absorb some of the sauce.
- Remove from the oven and toss the baked tofu with the remaining reserved spicy harissa sauce. Serve topped with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
